सेमाम् अविड्ढि प्रभृतिꣳ य ईशिषे ऽया विधेम नवया महा गिरा । यथा नो मीढ्वान् स्तवते सखा तव बृहस्पते सीषधः सोत नो मतिम्

Attend to this offering, you who are master of it; let us worship with this new, great song. Bṛhaspati, inasmuch as your friend, the bountiful one, is praised by us, bring our thought to success, and (further) it.

अश्मास्यम् अवतम् ब्रह्मणस् पतिर् मधुधारम् अभि यम् ओजसातृणत् । तम् एव विश्वे पपिरे स्वर्दृशो बहु साकꣳ सिसिचुर् उत्सम् उद्रिणम्

सना ता का चिद् भुवना भवीत्वा माद्भिः शरद्भिर् दुरो वरन्त वः । अयतन्ता चरतो अन्यद्-अन्यद् इद् या चकार वयुना ब्रह्मणस् पतिः

Ancient are those worlds, and (some) are yet to come to be; with months, with autumns let the doors open for you. Without effort the two move, one after the other — (following) the courses which Brahmaṇaspati has made.

The keepers of ṛta, having seen through the falsehoods, again thence took their stand upon the paths of the great one, the sages did. With both arms they (left) the fire blown to flame in the stone; he is no stranger — for they abandoned him.

He is the one who gathers together, he the one who leads apart, the one placed in front; he is the well-praised, he in battle — Brahmaṇaspati. When the enduring one carries off the prize by thought, from out of the wealth the sun burns, and the burner burns at will.
